PROMISE TO PAY. U.S. WELL SERVICES, INC., U.S. WELL SERVICES, LLC, and USWS HOLDINGS LLC ( collectively “Borrower” and each individually a “Borrower”) promise to pay to the order of Greater Nevada Credit Union (“Lender”), in lawful money of the United States of America the sum of                  Dollars (U.S. $                ), or such other or lesser amounts as may be reflected from time to time on Lender’s books and records as evidencing the aggregate unpaid principal balance of loan advances made to Borrower on a multiple advance basis as provided herein, together with simple interest at the rate or rates provided herein in the “PAYMENT” paragraph, with interest being assessed on the unpaid principal balance of this Note as outstanding from time to time, commencing on November 12, 2020, and continuing until this Note is paid in full.

MULTIPLE ADVANCE LOAN. This Note contemplates multiple loan advances. Once the total amount of principal has been advanced under this Note, Borrower will not be entitled to further loan advances. Advances under this Note may be requested either orally or in writing by Borrower or as provided in this paragraph. All oral requests shall be confirmed in writing on the day of the request, on forms acceptable to Lender. All communications, instructions, or directions by telephone or otherwise to Lender are to be directed to Lender’s office shown above. The following person or persons are authorized to request advances and authorize payments during the construction loan phase under this Note until Lender receives from Borrower, at Lender’s address shown above, written notice of revocation of such authority: Kyle O’Neill, Chief Financial Officer of U.S. Well Services, Inc. Borrower agrees to be liable for all sums either: (A) advanced in accordance with the instructions of an authorized person or (B) credited to any of Borrower’s deposit accounts with Lender. The unpaid principal balance owing on this Note at any time may be evidenced by endorsements on this Note or by Lender’s internal records, including daily computer print-outs.

PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in accordance with the following payment schedule, which calculates interest on the unpaid principal balances as described in the “INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD” paragraph using the interest rates described in this paragraph: 36 monthly consecutive interest payments, beginning December 12, 2020, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances using an interest rate of 5.750% per annum based on a year of 360 days; 83 monthly consecutive principal and interest payments, beginning December 12, 2023, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances using an interest rate of 5.750% per annum based on a year of 360 days; and one final principal and interest payment of the remaining balance due on November 12, 2030, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances using an interest rate of 5.750% per annum based on a year of 360 days. This estimated final payment is based on the assumption that all payments will be made exactly as scheduled; the actual final payment will be for all principal and accrued interest not yet paid, together with any other unpaid amounts under this Note. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any unpaid collection costs; and then to any late charges. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender’s address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.

INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.

PREPAYMENT PENALTY. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by law. Upon prepayment of this Note, in whole or in part, Lender is entitled to the following prepayment penalty: If the prepayment occurs on or before the third anniversary date of this Note, the prepayment penalty will equal three percent (3%) of the principal amount prepaid. Prepayment penalty shall not apply if the prepayment occurs after the third anniversary date. Other than Borrower’s obligation to pay any minimum interest charge and prepayment penalty, Borrower may prepay this Note in full at any time by paying the unpaid principal balance of this Note, plus accrued simple interest and any unpaid late charges through date of repayment. If Borrower prepays this Note in full, or if Lender accelerates payment, Borrower understands that, unless otherwise required by law, any prepaid fees or charges will not be subject to rebate and will be earned by Lender at the time this Note is signed. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrower’s making fewer payments. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked “paid in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language If Borrower sends such a payment. Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender’s rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: Greater Nevada Credit Union, 451 Eagle Station Lane, Carson City, NV 89701

LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment, with a minimum of $10. Late charges will not be assessed following declaration of default and acceleration of the maturity of this Note.

DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) under this Note:

Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note.

Default Under Loan Agreement. If an event of default occurs or exists under the terms of Borrower’s Loan Agreement in favor of Lender.

Lender shall have the further right again at Lender’s sole option, to declare formal default and to accelerate the maturity and to insist upon immediate payment in full of each and every other loan, extension of credit, debt, liability and/or obligation of every nature and kind that Borrower may then owe to Lender, whether direct or indirect or by way of assignment, and whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, voluntary or involuntary, determined or undetermined, secured or unsecured, whether Borrower is obligated alone or with others on a “solidary” or “joint and several” basis, as a principal obligor or otherwise, all without further notice or demand, unless Lender shall otherwise elect.

ATTORNEYS’ FEES: EXPENSES. If Lender refers this Note to an attorney for collection, or files suit against Borrower to collect this Note, or if Borrower files for bankruptcy or other relief from creditors, Borrower agrees to pay Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.

Borrower and each guarantor further severalty agree that discharge or release of any party who is or may be liable to Lender for the indebtedness represented hereby, or the release of any collateral directly or indirectly securing repayment hereof, shall not have the effect of releasing any other party or parties, who shall remain liable to Lender, or of releasing any other collateral that is not expressly released by Lender. Borrower and each guarantor additionally agree that Lender’s acceptance of payment other than in accordance with the terms of this Note, or Lender’s subsequent agreement to extend or modify such repayment terms, or Lender’s failure or delay in exercising any rights or remedies granted to Lender, shall likewise not have the effect of releasing Borrower or any other party or parties from their respective obligations to Lender, or of releasing any collateral that directly or Indirectly secures repayment hereof. In addition, any failure or delay on the part of Lender to exercise any of the rights and remedies granted to Lender shall not have the effect of waiving any of Lender’s rights and remedies.
